(1, 2, 1-2-3-4!)

Romeo was restless, he was ready to kill
Jumped out the window 'cause he couldn't sit still
Juliet was waiting with a safety net
I said, "Don't bury me 'cause I'm not dead yet."

Why don't you tell me 'bout the mystery dance?
I wanna know about the mystery dance
Why don't you show me?
'Cause I've tried and I've tried
And I'm still mystified
I can't do it anymore, and I'm not satisfied

Well, I remember when the lights went out
And I was trying to make it look like it was never in doubt
She thought that I knew, and I thought that she knew
So both of us were willing, but we didn't know how to do it

Why don't you tell me 'bout the mystery dance?
I wanna know about the mystery dance
Why don't you show me?
'Cause I've tried and I've tried
And I'm still mystified
I can't do it anymore, and I'm not satisfied
